Best Karaoke (2009)

Ask any fan: Half the bars around town that feature weekend karaoke are packed by 9 p.m. If you get your request in early, you might get to sing one song. But on a busy night, don't even think about singing two. This is not the case at the Vegas Lounge, a fun bar that manages to not become overwhelmed with bar hoppers' insatiable lust for public singing. The bar is reasonably large, so singers don't have to fight for seats or request slips. On any given night, talented singers perform as often as the tone-deaf, and they can pick their songs from an enormous playlist. If you need to get away from the singing, the patio out back is an excellent place to take a break.
